Caelynn Miller-Keyes Calls Dean Unglert 'Incredible' in Sweet Birthday Tribute
Dean Unglert woke up on his 29th birthday with breakfast in bed and a loving social media tribute, courtesy of his girlfriend Caelynn Miller-Keyes.
Caelynn shared a series of beautiful, personal photos of her beau from many of their globe-trotting travels, even making the geo-tag "All Over the World." She wrote in her Instagram caption, "Happy birthday to this incredible man. You never cease to amaze me. Thank you for putting a smile on my face (and Pappy’s) every single day."
Photos on her Instagram Story show a banner that reads “It is your birthday” with balloons strewn over the room, as well as a cinnamon roll with candles in it. They’ve even nicknamed their time together "quarandeaned."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Dean and Caelynn's love story began on the beach in Mexico during Season 6 of "Bachelor in Paradise." They instantly hit it off, but Dean shocked everyone — especially Caelynn — when he broke up with her on her birthday and left the beach. Not long after that, however, he returned to Mexico (sans 'stache), asked for her forgiveness, and to "leave 'Paradise' with me today."
"You put a smile on my face every time I see you and I don't want that to stop," he told her.
She told him she would, and he grinned, saying, "It's the best decision you'll ever make."
It seems that way for Caelynn! The couple has ventured to cities and countries near and far, from Malibu to Bali and Switzerland to Antigua. Plus, they’ve also taken their newly-adopted dog Pappy on plenty of vacations.
In September, Dean joined Rachel Lindsay and Ali Fedotowsky-Manno in the "Bachelor Happy Hour" studio and spoke about his relationship with Caelynn.
He shared, "The great thing about Caelynn is that she is an intelligent person and dynamic enough to take my humor in and spit it right back at me. I’m actually enjoying my time I’m spending with her because I’m not having to filter what I’m going to say because I’m not worried I’m going to offend her."
Dean called that trait his "favorite thing" about Caelynn — "that I can be myself, which is a rarity."
He also acknowledged that some people could view her as a "mean, catty person," which he doesn't mind because "it removes so much pressure from me to try to prove to other people that I’m worth your time."
Though Dean and Caelynn are stuck in Santa Monica, California, for the time being, they will surely be jetting off to far-flung locales the moment they get the green light to do so.
Happy birthday, Dean!
